Problem Statement

Let R \mathcal{R} be the region consisting of the set of points in the coordinate plane that satisfy both |8 \minus{} x| \plus{} y \le 10 and 3y \minus{} x \ge 15. When R \mathcal{R} is revolved around the line whose equation is 3y \minus{} x \equal{} 15, the volume of the resulting solid is mπnp \frac {m\pi}{n\sqrt {p}}, where m m, n n, and p p are positive integers, m m and n n are relatively prime, and p p is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find m \plus{} n \plus{} p.
